John T⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: J G Portman| OR: 75

11/4

Showed promise with consecutive seconds in maiden company but disappointed when 11th of 12 in handicap at Newbury (14/1), racing too freely and meeting trouble 2f out. Will need to settle better here.

Form: 7-220

Stormy Monday¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: E Walker| OR: 73

9/4

Nursery winner at 2 yrs who ran better than on his previous outing when fifth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (8/1) 16 days ago. Bit more needed if he's to regain the winning thread.

Form: 91-0385

Jet Black³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 70| BF

15/8

Won a handicap at Redcar over 10f in May and finished second of 4 in a handicap at Windsor (10f) 33 days ago, making the running but hanging left late on. Step up to 12f could suit.

Form: 07-6212

(3)

Twilight Moon³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T E Whelan| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 64| BF

9/2

Has shown improved form since being upped in trip, finishing third of 6 in handicap at Windsor (11/8) 33 days ago when finding a strongly-run 11f too much. Form behind progressive Pomme Pomme reads well.

Form: 26-8323

Forecasts

Jet Black (15/8), Stormy Monday (9/4), John T (11/4), Twilight Moon (9/2)

JET BLACK would have likely followed up from Redcar at Windsor last time had she kept straight in the closing stages and is fancied to gain compensation with the step up to 12f likely to be within range. Twilight Moon ran well behind a progressive sort on her penultimate outing and has excellent claims if returning to that sort of form.
